Alma 56:29

And the Lamanites, thus seeing our forces increase daily,

and provisions arrive for our support,

they began to be fearful, and began to sally forth,

if it were possible to put an end to our receiving provisions and strength.

Alma 56:57

And as we had no place for our prisoners,

that we could guard them to keep them from the armies of the Lamanites,

therefore we sent them to the land of Zarahemla,

and a part of those men who were not slain of Antipus, with them;

and the remainder I took and joined them to my stripling Ammonites,

and took our march back to the city of Judea.

Alma 57:15

Therefore it became expedient for us,

that we should put an end to their lives,

or guard them, sword in hand, down to the land of Zarahemla;

and also our provisions were not any more than sufficient for our own people,

notwithstanding that which we had taken from the Lamanites.

Alma 58:11

Yea, and it came to pass that

the Lord our God did visit us with assurances

that he would deliver us;

yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls,

and did grant unto us great faith,

and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him.

Alma 58:41

And now, my beloved brother, Moroni,

may the Lord our God,

who has redeemed us and made us free,

keep you continually in his presence;

yea, and may he favor this people,

even that ye may have success in obtaining the possession

of all that which the Lamanites have taken from us,

which was for our support.

And now, behold, I close mine epistle.

I am Helaman, the son of Alma.
